Pigvan Rides Again!

Pigvan has awoken from a coma of 12 months, where it resided in our driveway, to take its rightful place on the road. Under the masterful hand of pig-surgeon Dr. Drew, all the pieces have been replaced just right and it's up and roaring. Because it roars. Not purrs. Not hums. Roars. There's something thrilling about driving a very powerful and very loud machine.

  2. Pigvan is a cargo van that is older than I am. It's battered, dinged, and dirty. But it's dang useful. We have a love-hate relationship with Pigvan. When it works, we love it, when it doesn't work, we hate it. It's name is Pigvan, mainly because it doesn't deserve a cool name. Drew wanted to name it "Dragon" when we first got it, but after we realized how much gas is guzzled, it became known as a Pig; then Pigvan.
    The diet is called "Feeling Great in Eight." It's a competitive diet where you earn points by eating well and lose points by eating poorly. The big intrigue is that there's a cash prize at the end. :) We all had to ante in to play. So far it's working, since it stresses eating well and exercising.
